In this paper, we show that the sequential logit (SL) model, in which a choice process is characterized as a sequence of independent multinomial logit models, is a limiting case of the nested logit (NL) model. For testing the SL model against the NL model, we propose using the Wald, likelihood...

In a binary logit analysis with unequal sample frequencies of the twooutcomes the less frequent outcome always has lower estimatedprediction probabilities than the other one. This effect is unavoidable,and its extent varies inversely with the fit of the model, as given by anew measure that...

Monte Carlo evidence has shown that simple, misspecified discrete choice models for referendum contingent valuation data can lead to good estimates of mean willingness to pay (WTP). Empirical studies have found that estimates of mean WTP derived from simple parametric models often differ little...

Do attitudes towards European integration influence vote choice in national elections — a phenomenon I refer to as European Union (EU) issue voting? Evidence concerning EU issue voting is thus far mixed. Some scholars conclude that an electoral connection exists between European and...
